A Nintendo Switch Mini or Nintendo Switch Pocket handheld console could be in the pipeline according to a popular X-based leaker. It seems the source has dug up numerous patents that point to a miniature Switch, although patents often lead to nothing more than the public description of an idea. However, this hasn’t stopped the leaker predicting a price and release date for a Switch Mini.

I think we all know that patents don’t usually mean anything and aren’t an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

    Take it the other way. Bigger form factor, better display and processor, make it play a wider platform of games… oh wait that’s my Steam Deck.

    Switch Nano. Size of a pack of gum and I will hang it from my keychain.

        I loved my micro. I especially liked all the faceplates you could swap out and customize with.
